"Mr. Davis contends: "Madison, Jefferson and Franklin would cheer, and every American can celebrate" the "the sight of one man standing up to
challenge God and country."

And how can the New York Times publish such utterly illogical, pseudo-historical foolishness?"
But this one man, Newdow, isn't challenging God. He denies the existence of God. How can one challenge the non-existent?
So therfore we have nothing to defend conversely we have no onus to justify god
If you think the creator of the universe is letting people fly planes into our buildings because we are tolerating gay marriage, or he's whipping up
hurricanes in the Gulf because we're tolerating gay marriage, you have to try to legislate against gay marriage.

JOHN BURNETT: And I didn't realize that it was so offensive to atheists. And I learned that in spades after this story came out. They spammed me for
weeks with e-mail, saying, we're outraged. So now I know.
DR. HOUSE: Faith. That's another word for ignorance, isn't it?
BROOKE GLADSTONE: But even she concedes that organizing atheists is like herding cats. Sam Harris says the only way to win is to keep up the pressure
until religious tolerance is no longer tolerated.
Atheists were deemed the least desirable. Muslims did better in 2003, and gays and lesbians, maybe because most respondents had at least seen one or
two.
Militant Atheists. These are the guys that take Atheism and turn it into a zealous religion that is focused almost entirely on defaming, badmouthing,
and attempting to disprove most or all religious faiths, although in many cases the individual Militant Atheist will focus only on one particular
religion to direct their stream of hate at. They appear to be roughly as populous as fundamentalist Christians are on the Internet, and it appears
that these two groups imagine themselves to be in mortal combat with one another, judging by some of the crap found on their sites.
Many Atheists don't appear to disbelieve in God so much as they appear to wish agonizing death upon Him and His followers.
An Evangelical Atheist is a person that is an atheist and tries to spread atheism amongst theists. It is derived from Evangelism, meaning "Spreading
Good News" as practised by Christianity. Due to the rise of the Conservative Christain movement in the United States of America and the increase of
humanistic thought, along with the increased blending other many different religions, Atheism has become more and more popular. Evangelical atheist
usually seeks to "convert" borderline theists, often by engagaing in debate with fundamentalists.
Theist: Those who do not believe in God and follow Jesus Christ go to Hell
Evangelical Atheist: Where is hell?
Theist: Its a fiery place where sinners burn forever.
Atheist: Yeah but where is it? and how do i get there?
Theist: its under heaven, maybe under the earth. And you get there by sinning.
Atheist: OK, is there a tunnel down to it? can you show me on a map? do you have a photo?
Theist: Look, it says so in my holy book.
Atheist: It also says to stone men to death if they shave their beards.
Theist: Nonsense!
Atheist : no its here look, leviticus. See?
Theist: er.....erm.....well....
Let's look at who is really shedding blood in history: Militant atheists slaughtered millions more people than any 'Christian' incident. In fact,
the greatest mass murders in history were committed by Communists Joseph Stalin and Mao Tse Tung. Since the early 20th century, more than 100,000,000
died at the hands of these militant atheists.
Usually, it is those following Christ who are being killed...not doing the killing. As just one example: Turkish Muslims in the three short years
between 1915 and 1918 slaughtered 1.5 million Christian Armenians. This was one of the first genocides of the 20th century.
"The fact is that Christians have been at the forefront of expanding and defending human freedom around the globe ever since the First Century Church
was founded. Christians, for example, were the ones who campaigned against the gladiator games in ancient Rome as well as against the slave trade in
Britain and in the United States.
PF’s InnerChange Freedom Initiative (IFI) was a criminal rehabilitation program designed to help prisoners return to society as productive
law-abiding citizens.
The program was sued in Iowa by Americans United for Separation of Church and State as being a violation of the alleged separation of church and
state. District Court Robert Pratt issued a far-reaching decision against IFI in 2006 that could have had devastating impact on all religious-based
ministries in prisons.
Pratt declared that IFI’s program in Iowa was unconstitutional, pervasively sectarian, and ordered IFI to repay Iowa $1.5 million it had received
for providing services to prisoners. The judge issued an injunction against IFI, forbidding it to operate in any Iowa prison
